Specifying a startup configuration file to be used at
the next system startup
To specify a startup configuration file to be used at the next system startup, use the following guidelines:
Use the save command. If you save the running configuration to the specified configuration file in
•
the interactive mode, the system automatically sets the file as the startup configuration file to be used
at the next system startup (the system sets the file as the main startup configuration file to be used at
the next system startup).
Use the command dedicated to specify a startup configuration file to be used at the next startup,

the root directory of the storage media.

Backing up the startup configuration file

The backup function allows you to copy the startup configuration file to be used at the next startup from
the device to the TFTP server.
The backup operation backs up the main startup configuration file to the TFTP server for devices
supporting main and backup startup configuration files.
Follow the step below to back up the startup configuration file to be used at the next startup:
To do...
Back up the startup configuration
file to be used at the next startup to
the specified TFTP server
NOTE:
Before the backup operation:
Make sure that the server is reachable and enabled with TFTP service, and the client has the read and
•
write permission.
Use the display startup command (in user view) to check whether you have specified a startup
•
configuration file to be used at the next startup. If the file is set as NULL or does not exist, the backup
operation fails.
Use the command...
startup saved-configuration cfgfile
[ backup | main ]
Use the command...
backup startup-configuration to
dest-addr [dest- filename ]
